Child Lures Prevention Program
Sgt. Scott Finnen of the Levy County Sheriff’s Department informed the Board that the Sheriff’s Department had partnered with the School Board to provide a program designed to protect students by teaching them the skills to stay safe.
Sgt. Finnen said the "Child Lures Prevention Program", started by reporter Kenneth Wooden of Vermont" is in over 1,000 schools in the U.S. and elsewhere and includes training videos, student videos and a teacher lesson plan. In addition, parents will also receive a booklet to help them reinforce what will be taught in the classroom. Sgt. Finnen stated that School Resource Officers will assist in the training and instruction, which is designed for students of all ages. However, he said that the program will initially be taught to students in grades K-8. The Child Lures Prevention Program will teach students the different "lures" that predators use to attract children.
